The story behind my smaller paintings
These small paintings on paper are an integral part of my working process giving me a chance to relax from painting large canvases. Some people read a book, some go for a run but I just put on my music, grab my larger brushes and start spontaneously putting brushstrokes down and follow the flow.
It is a very different way of painting to my large canvases which are less abstract and more blended. The freedom with these smaller works can be seen in the use of colour and the limited brushstrokes allowing an abstract impression of the landscape, sunrise, sunset or seascape.
Sometimes they even kickstart an idea to create something in a large canvas or allow that relaxation needed when I hit a creative block with a bigger painting.
They can begin inspiration but they also creatively stand alone.

Behind the collection: Spontaneous abstract landscapes
There is a unique sense of freedom that comes with creating small works on paper. With this collection I wanted to lean entirely into a spontaneous intuitive process allowing my brushstrokes to capture the raw impression of a landscape rather than a literal view. Working smaller forces me to focus purely on the balance of colour, light, movement and brushstrokes. The result is a series of fast paced spontaneous abstract landscapes where fields, skies and horizons are felt rather than seen, capturing the pure emotion of a place in a single moment.
These pieces have an energy and flow that allows me to relax as they are smaller and quicker to do than a canvas that can takes days and weeks. They have a fluidity and expressive style and each has their unique colour palette. They come with a mount so they are a perfect size to be custom framed and placed around your home or you could give them as that perfect gift.
